According to The Chicago Tribune, the Chicago White Sox are expected to announce the signing of first-round pick Kyle McCulloch this week. McCulloch, a junior pitcher at the University of Texas, is expected to receive a bonus in excess of $1 million.

The Chicago White Sox selected RHP Kyle McCulloch (Texas) with the No. 29 pick in the 2006 First-Year Player Draft. He went 12-4 en route to a national title in 2005, but started 2006 slowly and finished strong. He has a low-to-mid-90s fastball and a good breaking ball, but it's his knowledge of pitching that makes him stand out.
